About this study
In this prospective, multicenter study of patients with acute spontaneous supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH), each participant will have a standardized multimodal evaluation of neuroinflammation at 10 (±2) days after onset including translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-DPA-714 radioligand, BBB imaging using Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and a panel of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory plasma biomarkers.
Read the detailed description
Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is the most devastating stroke subtype that affects > 3 million people worldwide each year. Despite important efforts and the hope that minimally invasive surgical procedures may offer, there is currently no effective treatment. Perihematomal edema - a surrogate marker of neuroinflammation - has emerged as important contributors to poor functional outcome following acute ICH, and a potential treatment target. Innovative techniques have been developed to image and measure neuroimmune response (TSPO PET) and BBB integrity (DCE-MRI). These novel methods have been poorly studied in ICH. The effects of in vivo perihematomal neuroinflammation on the functional outcome of patients with acute ICH is widely unknown.
The present study is a prospective, multicenter study of patients with acute spontaneous supratentorial ICH (within 48h after onset). Each participant will have a standardized multimodal evaluation of neuroinflammation at 10 days after onset including TSPO PET using 18F-DPA-714 radioligand, BBB imaging using DCE-MRI and a panel of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory plasma biomarkers.
In hospital follow up visit will occur at 14 days and end of follow up visit at 180 days. Functional outcome will be assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS), which is a widely used and validated scale - ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death) - to evaluate the functional outcome following ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing TEP with 18F-DPA-714 injection in people with Intracerebral Hemorrhage, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 sites in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Nicolas RAPOSO, MD, PHD (05 61 77 76 40 ext. 33, raposo.n@chu-toulouse.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
18F-DPA-714 PET radiotracer uptake at day 10 ±2 after ICH according to the functional outcome (poor versus favorable) at 6 months (time frame: o 18F-DPA-714 binding is measured at day 10 ±2 after ICH. o The functional outcome is measured at 6 months after ICH). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2026.
